Mesa Historical Museum

A good local historical museum. Interesting exhibits on bison (which I found a bit unusual, since Arizona seemed at the edge of their range), a local woman who excelled at cat art, and the Cactus league. Also some Native American exhibits. I would have preferred more information on the modern development of Mesa. And, the museum seemed to lack a coherent theme. But, not a bad place to visit for history enthusiasts. Expect about a 1.5 hour visit if you are a detailed reader.

a bit interesting, and well kept, but still seemed very expensive for what was there. i highly doubt i’d ever pay $5 to look at a few rooms again. i was told that items from the Mesa Southwest Museum has been moved there- the entire Western room there has been removed and replaced with a horse skeleton instead (lame)- but this museum only has the carriage and the locked safe. i was hoping to see the movie items and other artifacts, etc. they did have a rebuilt one room school house like the MSM had back in the day. the best part was reading about the Buckhorn Baths Motel. you may like it more than i did if you love cats.. ?

I visited Mesa Historical Museum while visiting my father and we both enjoyed the experience. It was amazing to learn so much about Mesa’s history and culture. We were warmly welcomed by the Execitive Director, Susan, and felt relaxed while we toured each room in the museum. The one room school house is a must see! recommend visiting the museum for a very enjoyable experience!

Fun visit great place to take the family, they have fun events . I love buying books at the book fair

The Mesa Historical Museum was very interesting to walk through! It's one level, but has several rooms of artifacts to look at and articles to read. Learning about how baseball spring training came to be here in Arizona was very fascinating! One could take an hour or so to fully enjoy this museum. Another must see in Mesa!

This is a nice museum with history of Mesa and important families and events in the area. It is small so it does not take long to go through.

This is a wonderful display of Mesa's history! It was nice to tie in a museum visit at the end of a work day, so it being small was actually a plus to me. It was easier to sell a quick trip to my teenager as well. The staff was very kind and willing to answer any questions, I can't wait to frame my souvenir!

This is such a great place to visit and see wonderful things. Really nice gift store also.
